- On Friday, United States President Donald Trump hosted a peace deal between Azerbaijan and Armenia at the White House, ending a Soviet break-up conflict that lasted more than 30 years.
- Decades of ethnic strife over Nagorno-Karabakh began in the late 1980s when it broke away within Azerbaijan, and escalated in 2023 when Azerbaijan recaptured control, prompting 100,000 ethnic Armenians to flee, following a framework in the UAE earlier this year.
- The deal includes exclusive US rights to a strategic transit corridor in the South Caucasus and aims to boost bilateral trade and expand energy partnerships.
